YESTERDAY MORNING'S WORK , BY ARCHER. It was very foggy at Ellerslie yesterday morning and this made it difficult to time tho early gallops, several of which were missed.

Melbourne papers now to hand furnish full details of the. victory registered by Heroic in the Memqje Stakes, run at Caulfield on the sth inst. The son of Valais was backed with such force and consistency down to 6 to 4 that it was made quite clear his party fully anticipated. that ho would reverse the running at Williamstown a week previously, when he was defeated by Whrttier. Heroic is credited with playing his part with marked brilliancy in the decision of the Meansie Stakes. He was always in command in the raoa down the straight, eventually winning ewiily by two lengths in fast time. Heroic ruled a warm favourite for the Csulfield Cup when the last mail to hand left Melbourxie. — • JDERBY FAVOURITE SCORES. Manfred, who is a prime favourite for the A.J.C. and V.R.C. Derbies, was produced at Caulfield on the sth inst. to contest the Heathelea Handicap, which event was run over nine furlongs, and in which he was weighted at 7.13. The Derby favourite re-' corded what is termed, a sensational victory. At one stage of the contuet tho colt was thought to be in a hopehsss position, but he answeied the question in brilliant style when the demand was made on him, and he won his race in such style as to further brighten his prospects of proving himself the leading three-yearold of the season. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. The Hawk has been left in the Epsom Handicap ■(1 mile), in which he figures top weight with 10.0. He has, however, been entered for the Spring Stakes (H mileß), which event is set down for decision on the same day. The New Zealand gelding Pilliewinkie (9.7) figures among the acceptances for the Metropolitan Stakes, of £6OOO (1 mile and 5 furlongs), to be run on the second day of the Australian Jockey Club's Spring Meeting, which takes place at Randwick on October 5. , The Auckland-owned gelding Cherry Ripe figures among the entrants for both the hurdle and steeplechase events which are set down for decision at the Australian Jockey Club's Spring Meeting next month. The three-year-old Diogenes, who was transported from New Zealand to Australia last month, is reported to be training on Satisfactorily. The English-bred stallion Shepherd King died recently at the Woodlands Stud (New South Wales). In 1916 Shepherd King won the Caulfield Cup, and he went close to also winning the Melbourne Cup, in which race he beat all his opponents with the exception of the New Zealand gelding Sasanof. Mr. E. G. Blume bought Shepherd King in 1918 for 3500gns. His stock have won nearly £40,000 in stakes. FORTHCOMING MEETINGS. AVONDALE .JOCKEY CLUB.

J. Fatauhar. wanganui' notes. [BY TELEGBAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WANGANUI. Tuesday. ' Some good judges who witnessed the race for the Wanganui Guineaa were not greatly impressed with the winner. Father O'Flynn. and they offer the prediction that the son of Paper Money will see two or three of the same age develop better form as the season advances. Aucklanders who witnessed the racing here declare that Ripon Abbey will defeat Father O'Flynn when" they meet. Mimetio is a colt. that should be heard of in the near future. The son of Comedy King want 3 a race or two to sharpen him up, and then, he will prove himself one of the best of his age. Alaric must be given credit for running two good at the Wanganui meeting. In the decision of the Marangai Handicap (1 mile 130 yds.). he beat all his field with the exception ot The Banker, to whom ho was conceding Sib., and it was only a question of a neck between the twain. The Higgie Handicap (1J mile) saw a welldeserved win go. down to the credit of Alaric. who carried 8.13 home in front of Shining Armour (7.0) and eight others. A mile and a-half journey appears a bit too far for Alaric, otherwise he would have a rare chance in the Avondale Cup with 8.3. Still, his condition is so good that such may be expected to assist him to see out ths ( twelve furlongs attached to the race referred to. > Star Stranger should be hard to beat in his engagements at Avondale. He was unlucky in the contest for the Maiden Race here R. Reed is to ride Mimetic and Rapine in their Avondale engagements. Rapine should strip in good order if started in the Avondale Cup. He galloped well enough here to show that he is not far off his best. . First Acre. ' winner of the Maiden Race at Wanganui.. should score again soon. He is a nice-looking colt, and has a good deal of pace. Dress Circle is a filly that some Wanganui punters will be on when she makes her next appearance in public. There was a lot of bumping in the Durje Hack Race, and one of the chief sufferers was Bonhomme. Ho will be hard to beat in his engagement at the Otaki ,meeting. Euphonium Tends well in the Wallace Handicap at Otaki. The son of Elvsian -Trill have sharpened up after his racing here. Mr. A. M. Campbell. shon]d not be long in winning a race with FilMte. judging by the way the daughter of Boniform was going at the end of the Durie Hack. Indian Sage ia going to prove very fast over a short distance, even if he does not stay. H« was going great guns at the finish of the Durie Hack Race after being in a boneless position at the bottom of the Btr"! - -' Beacon Light was taken, ont of . the Wanganui Guineas owing to being amiss a couple of days before the race. He is now all rieht again. . Pa'ham has. been doyig. £rood work since he has been in Wanganui. the racing last week having done him good. He should be fit to do his best ,at Avondale. To Monanui won his races here so well that he is being nicked to run prominently in tb« Avondalw Cup. T. P«ly Wt " nr n'n*a T, ni for Masterton vitb Mr. W. R. Kemball's horses yesterday.
